About Yrefy

> Yrefy has been growing extremely rapidly over the last couple of years and is now around $250m in investor capital and growing. Yrefy is the only company that currently refinances sub-prime and delinquent private student loans ($45b+ market opportunity) which places us in the unique position to be able to choose the borrowers who are ready, willing and more importantly have the ability to pay us and our investors back. We then work with these borrowers, one at a time and buy their loans from the original lender, such as Wells Fargo, for approx. 35%-40% of full value and collect over time the full value of the loan. We do not buy loans in bulk, we settle them one at a time on behalf on the borrowers who reach out to us from our marketing efforts. Yrefy then works extensively with each borrower to create a custom-tailored solution that is not only affordable for the borrower, but in many instances significantly improves their financial situation resulting in a win for the borrower, our investors and society. Thus far we have a 98% collection rate from over 1400 borrowers that we have refinanced during the nearly 7 years that we have been in business.

IRA Club provides a way for people like you to fully utilize the benefits of Self-Directed IRAs, leading to a wider range of investments and potential for better returns.

It’s an IRA that gives you more choices for where you want to invest your money, not just in regular stocks or bonds.

Self-Directed IRAs were passed by Congress back in 1974. Alternative IRA investments have always been allowed by the IRS, however, many IRA companies have placed artificial restrictions on IRA owners over the years. Self-Directed IRAs are not well known because most banks and brokerage firms prefer traditional investments.

It’s easy to make investments with a Self-Directed IRA. Once you find your investment and provide money to the seller, you will receive proof that your Self-Directed IRA is the new owner. It can be in the form of a Bill of Sale, title, deed, or simply a statement identifying your Self-Directed IRA as the asset’s new owner. The main difference is that the name on the title (or other documents) is the name of your Self-Directed IRA and not your name as an individual.

Yes. The most common way for an IRA to buy an asset is to pay cash. However, there may be times when an alternative method of payment is practical.
